Happy New Year from Summit County!

Ski conditions around the county are Fantastic!! If you have not been up yet, what are you waiting for??

If old gear is keeping you from winter fun, your solution is simple. Head to the closet Sun & Ski Sports. With 4 location throughout the US, they are not hard to find. Sun & Ski has all the brands you have come to love and trust: Salomon, Tecnica, Head, Rossignol and my new favorite Italian ski boot: Dalbello.

The Sun & Ski staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Their skilled equipment technicians helped my find my dream boots.  It took some time. I am a nervous consumer. Its a process!!! I tried on 8 pairs of boots and asked dozens of questions. I was never rushed. After an hour, I felt confident I found the right boots for me. I followed my gut: Trust the Italians when it comes to footwear!!

And, just in case my gut was wrong, trust Sun & Ski’s Performance Guarantee: We will put you on the right equipment. The Performance Guarantee allows you, if not absolutely satisfied with your purchase, to exchange it for something that will. This promise is extended for up to one (1) year from the date of purchase.

Thank you Sun & Ski for gearing me up.

I’ll see you on the slopes.

Ciao!

Early season snow conditions are amazing!!!!

All Summit Ski Areas will be open on Thanksgiving Day this year, and for that we are grateful!  Heavy amounts of natural snow and consistent snowmaking allowed Breckenridge and Keystone Ski Resorts to open early this year. Copper Mountain opens Friday 11/16/18. A-Basin opened 10/19/18 showcasing many base area renovations, partially in expanded dining options. If you have never had a Bacon Bloody Mary at A-Basin, add it to your bucket list!!

My Thanksgiving tradition is skiing & eating. I’ll be hitting the slopes at Breckenridge this year and enjoying the amazing early season powder, followed by dinner Sevens in the Grand Lodge on Peak 7. The grand feast includes butternut squash bisque, hazelnut stuffing and roasted brined turkey. YUMMY!!!  For more Thanksgiving Day dining options, check out the Summit Daily the week of Thanksgiving for dining specials and reservations.

If you are looking for something other than skiing and eating, sign up for the Frisco Turkey Day 5K.  The first annual Turkey Day 5K is open to all ages and takes place on the Summit County Recreation path and town of Frisco side streets. All racers are invited to make a non-perishable food donation at the event, which will benefit the Family and Intercultural Resource Center of Summit County. The Frisco Adventure Park tubing hill and Nordic center is now open for the season. Sleigh rides with spectacular mountain views around the Peninsula Recreation Area and down scenic trails depart from the Frisco Nordic Center.

With so much to do and so much to look forward to this winter, its easy to be grateful.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM SUMMIT EXPRESS!!!
